New YORK, April 8.-Democrstic
leaders are delighted with the nnex'
pected victory in Rhode Island. Tam
many folks on the impulse OF the moment
ordered a salute of one hundred guns In
Union Square tonight in honor OF the
event. They say that a new breach has
been made in a State that has been
chemically Republican, there is no rea'
son to suppose other New England States
cannot be captured in the next Presi'
DENTAL election. The Governor.elect,
Mr.. Davis, is a strong Cleveland man.
The World makes the point that the Ad.
ministration was in no sense involved in
the fight. The Tribune imputes the
loss of the State to the combined In
iuence of the Prohibitionists and Mug.
wumps. The Times implies that 1t was
the independent voter, who is getting
tired of being ridden rough.shod by the
political machine. The Post, Independ.
emit. takes q similar view. 1t says; at
must be evident to Republicans every
where that the country has swung into
a new epoch. The independent voter is
more numerous than ever and more fear.
less than ever. The great issue OF the
day is that of good government, and the
party or candidate that stands against
that will 60 under, no matter how giori'

NEW YORK, April 9.-The Suns New
port, r. l., dispatch of the 9th instant,
says: A feature of the election on
Wednesday was the failure to elect a
Lieutenant Governor and Secretary OF
State. Newport also failed to elect a
Senator and three Representatives, and
an adjourned election will be held TO-
morrow. The Legislature now stands
40 Democrats to AZ Republicans and the
present indications are that Viewpoints
quartet will be Democratic. With sure
victories in the other places which are
Democratic beyond a doubt this will
give the Democrats the control Of the
Legislature, and they will elect the
Lieutenant Governor and the Secretary
of State, and secure the whole of the
State patronage, including every Sheriff,
the Clerks Of the Courts and thirteen
District Judges and their clerks. The
prestige thus obtained would give the
Democrats a seat in Congress from the
Western District which is still vacant.
This would cause the States in Congress
to be equally divided in case the election
Of a President should go to the House.
but beyond this the question of the
United States Senatorship is being can
vassed. The health of Senator Chace is
not good and may not serve his term
out. The Democratic Legislature would
fill the vacancy and the Senate would be
divided equally.

Free PASSES.

The New York Times 10 an editorial
says: The abolition of free passes, at
least so far as interstate transportation is
concerned, ought to sensibly increase the
net revenues of the railroad companies.
President Adams. of the Union Pacific.
told the Congressional Committee that tho
free-pass transportation on his road would
yield 500, 900 per annum at regular rates.
II has been estimated that the Pennsylva-
mia road would gain 5000, 900 = year by
Withholding passes. A director Of the ST.
Paul road says his company will gain
$500, 600. An officer OF the BurliL gton
Company asserts that 20 per cent Of the
passenger transportation on his road has
boon free. and believed that 40 per cent OF
this free transportation will be retained at
regular rates. 1t is said there are roads in
the West ON which. at certain seasons OF
the year, one-half Of the passengers have
been deadheads.

maligned the National Company fro m

currency to every evil story OF every

the company's financial unsoundness
and equally untrue stories of its sus-
pension. Indeed, where confidence
can be most easily destroyed and ruin
most speedily wrought, these newspa-

One of Parepa's Charities.

The season of music was closing.
satiated with praise, Parepa Rosa
drew her fur wrap about her shoulders,
and, stepping from the private en-
trance OF the 'Grand," was about to
enter her carriage, when "Please,

"Well?" said the great singer, half
impatient, but full OF pity.
."Would miladi please?' in sweet,
broken English, and the slender, brown
hands OF the dwarf held up fragrant
white lily, with crystal drop in it's
golden heart.
"Do yon mean this lovely flower for

A passionate gesture was his an

Taking the flower, Parepa Rosa bent
her stately head.

Child" and her voice tre1nbled,

and, holding the lily caressingly to
her cheek, she stepped into her car
riage and was driven away.
Il It was Parepa Rosa's last night. In
a box near the stage sat little Elfiu
like one entranced. Grandly the clear
voice swelled it's triumphant cords,
and rang amid the arches with un-
earthly power and sweetness. The
slight .rns:,e OF the boy swayed and
shook and look so rapt, so intense,
came on his face, you knew his very
heart was stilIed. Then the
wonderous voice trilled softly, like
the faint sound OF bugles in the early
morn; again its sweetness stole over
you like the distant chimes Of @vesper-
BELLS. Encore after encore followed.
The curtain rolled up for The last
time, and as simply as possibly the
manager told the audience of last
nights incident, and announced that
Parepa Rosa's farewell to them
would be the simple ballad warbled

short time at the cloud turned and

many fish were lying on top of the ice.
The fish had jumped up, and the lake

line indians OF the extreme North

legends about the creation, in which
the crow takes the leading part, bring
ing order out of chaos. Perhaps the
most curious was that which account
ed for the raven coat of the crow.
One night, while ! making tour
through his dominions. he stopped at
the house OF Can nook, chief, and
begged for lodging and a drink Of wa
ter. Can-nook offered him bed, but,
on account OF the scarcity Of water,
refused TO give him any thing to drink.
When all the rest were asleep the crow
got up to hunt for the water butt,
but was heard by Can-nook's wife,
who aroused her husband. He, think
ing that the crow was about to es-
cape, piled logs Of gum wood upon the
fire. The crow made desperate efforts
to fly through the hole - the roof
where the smoke escaped, but Can.

Gen. Logan and Senator Edmunds had
long occupied adjoining seats in the SEN
ate chamber, anda warm friendship exis-
ted between them, At the time of the
funeral of Gen. Logan it was thought
strange that the Vermont senator was alb
sent, and some comment was made upon
the fact that he had not even been heard
from in regard to his friends death. Mr..
Edmunds had gone south to spend the
holiday recess with a cunning party, and
had gotten beyond the reach of mails and
kilograms. Ha did not hear that Gen.
Logan was dead until after he was buried.
1t was rather an interesting circumstance
| that the first visit of ex-senator Conkling
| to the senate chamber since he resigned
in 1881 should have been to attend the
funeral of one of the men who stood SO
| steadfastly by him in his troubles. There
was little change in Mr.. Conkling's appear
ance to mark the interval of time, but as
he sat there amid those familiar surround
ings, one could not but wonder what
thoughts were coursing through his mind.
No other six years since the war ended
had witnessed so many important histori-
cal changes.
Garfield had been stricken down by the
hand of an assassin. Arthur had died of
a blighting disease. Blaine had been de-
feated for the presidency. Thurman,
Gordon, Mcdonald, Hamlin, Pendleton,
and other senatorial contemporaries of
equal fame had retired from service. Ben.
Hill, Burnside, David Davis, Matt Car
penter, Anthony and Logan had all passed
to the other side. Bayard, Lamar, and
Garland had been elevated to positions in
the cabinet, and the government has gotten
into the hands of the democrats.
Attorney General Garland who has pre-
s~istently refused invitations to every kind
of gathering, social and official since he
entered the cabinet, made his first APP
pearance in public at the Logan obsequies
He came into the Senate chamber in com.
pany with the other cabinet officers and
every one seemed surprised at this new
departure.
